Brissy Ridge Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Paris Mountain State Park in South Carolina, managed by State Park and Recreation. The trail is an out-and-back that starts and ends at about 1,500 feet, with a high point of 1,513 feet. The climb is steady, and the steepest stretch comes about half a mile in, with a grade of 18 percent. The total round-trip elevation gain is about 1,178 feet, and the route is roughly 2.9 miles long. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Greenville show October highs around 74°F with lows near 54°F, and April is similar at about 75°F by day and 52°F at night. That station sits roughly 465 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the ridge run a little cooler. The trail sits right next to the Sulphur Springs Trail and the Parking Lot Connector, both about 0.1 mile away, and the Connector Trail is about 0.3 mile off. The Kanuga Trail is about 0.6 mile away.
